In this episode, the synopsis is that Randy celebrates the $300 000 milestones of Tegridy Farms and Cartman refuses to get his vaccine.
I have said this every time, but the Tegridy Farms plots are getting very old. I really don't find it funny anymore when Randy says "Tegridy!". In addition, the show making references to the show itself is also getting old The only exception was Randy's vulgar comment about the Chinese government. I just love how the show doesn't even care that China banned it!
The $300 000 plot felt more like an excuse not to make this a special episode than an actual plot. However, it got more interesting when Towelie and Mrs. Cartman started getting involved.
The side plot with Cartman not wanting to get vaccinated was surprisingly funny. First of all, the idea that Cartman never got vaccinated was hilarious and was very similar to him having anxiety in the last season. The best scene was most likely seeing Cartman move his mom out of his house and the entire roundup scene. But mostly, unlike most episodes this season, this episode ended in somewhat of a cliffhanger. I don't know if they bring it back or not, but I sure hope they will.
Overall, "Shots" is an alright South Park episode but is good enough for the 300th episode.
